When and how to watch the Oscars on TV or online

The 90th Academy Awards are this Sunday and as last year's Oscars proved anything can happen.

This year's broadcast will begin at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. PST on ABC, 30-minutes earlier than it has in the past. The red carpet coverage on ABC starts at 6:30 p.m. EST/3:30 p.m. PST.
